ICD-10-PCS Code For Liver: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0FY0 includes procedures performed to transplant all or a portion of the liver in the hepatobiliary system and pancreas. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a patient receives a liver or partial liver graft from another individual or animal to replace the recipient’s liver function. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0FY0 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the transplant procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An adult with end-stage liver disease from hepatitis C and decompensated cirrhosis is admitted for elective orthotopic liver transplantation after placement on the transplant waitlist; the patient has progressive portal hypertension, refractory ascites, and worsening hepatic synthetic failure causing recurrent hospitalizations, so a donor liver graft is implanted to restore hepatic function. Typical codes: 0FY00Z0, 0FY00Z1
A pediatric patient with acute fulminant hepatic failure due to acetaminophen overdose is transferred emergently to the transplant center for life-saving liver replacement; rapid evaluation and operative implantation of a whole liver graft from a deceased donor are performed to prevent death from irreversible liver failure. Typical codes: 0FY00Z0, 0FY00Z2
A living-donor partial liver transplant is performed for a young adult with metabolic liver disease who received a segmental graft from a genetically related donor; the planned inpatient operation implants allogeneic partial liver tissue to correct the recipient’s enzyme deficiency and restore liver function. Typical codes: 0FY00Z0, 0FY00Z1
